Dilan 1990

This is probably the most popular movie in 2018. Since the movie release on cinemas at Jan 25th 2018, it's been trending on the social medias and everyone been talking about this movie. Like the title, this movie set in 1990, where Dilan met Milea in high school. The cheesy but sweet romantic words from Dilan to Milea are ones of the movie highlights. Iqbaal Ramadhan and Vanesha Prescilla are success to potray Dilan and Milea, their chemistry in this movie are really convincing. Iqbaal whose been underestimated before, can prove that he is the right one for Dilan character. Lots of people from different generation are really enjoy the movie. It is the movie that you can watch repeatedly and never get sick of. Me personally have watched this movie 5 times and some people even have watched more than 30 times. Isn't that sick? No wonder why this movie gets approx 6,3M viewers in less than 3 months. And even it is already out from the Indonesian cinemas, some of the "Dilanisme" (Dilan fans) still manage to put the movie back in cinema and watch it again. Dilan 1990 has captured a lot of people hearts. And i hope it will happen again in the next Dilan movie, Dilan 1991. I just can't wait.

Actually, i don't want to watch this movie at the first time. because i think it would be the same as another Indonesian drama movie . but my wife push me to accompany her to watch at cinema.

after watch it i can say i loved this movie. it is not the same as i saw before. its very fun to watch. and sometimes its remind me about my high school. :)

This movie is the most iconic romcom of my generation in Indonesia, as many people from all ages know it and people love to quote Dilan's famous pick-up lines in daily life. In my opinion as a teenager, this movie is cute and funny, but very cheesy and predictable. I like Dilan's character, he's funny and unique but his pick-up lines are so cringey and overrated. As for Milea the female lead, her character is pretty boring and such a typical damsel in distress. Also, the book is better than the movie.

This movie is so popular for female teen in Indonesia. They hyped about it since the trailer was out. It's maybe to cringey and cheesy for adults, but the promise of seeing a good looking playboy who gives riddles and pick-up lines and looks like he cares nothing but their relationship is what makes them fall head over heels for Dilan.

The technical problem is how the setting not arranged effectively so it doesn't feel nostalgic enough for those who had lived trough 1990s. I even see cars from 2016-2017ish. And I think the girl protagonist may have to advance her acting skill too.

I watched this film about four years ago and dared to voice criticism this year. I think this film is seriously overrated. The acting of the two main characters is very stiff. There were many comments from people who thought the same as me that the main actor's speaking intonation when delivering dialogue seemed artificial or unnatural, as did the main actress. I'm still confused about why the main actor was nominated in the best actor category. Sorry if I'm presumptuous.

One more thing, the depiction of the 90s setting is really not visible. From clothes to hairstyles it looks very modern. Despite all that, I can still be a little entertained by this film, even though it's mostly uncomfortable.
